The Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae), also known as the Lady Gouldian Finch, Gould’s Finch or the Rainbow Finch, is a colourful passerine bird endemic to Australia.
I took these close ups a few years ago at the Rainbow Jungle in Kalbarri, WA, at least they’re my shots and not a Wikipedia shot!
And here’s a flock of juvenile Gouldians at the Edith Falls Road spot.
They are endemic to northern Australia with small populations in the Northern Territory and north-western Queensland. The best place to see them is the hotspot near Edith Falls Road. There is a detailed hand-drawn map in this book that I can’t print here for copyright reasons.

I wish a flock like this would come in my back yard! Watch for the red-heads.
